OX05B1S
5 megapixel product brief
OMNIVISION’s new OX05B is the automotive industry’s first
5 megapixel (MP) RGB-IR BSI global shutter sensor for
in-cabin applications. With a pixel size of just 2.2 µm, it offers
940 nm NIR sensitivity for the best performance in extremely
low light conditions; it has a wide field of view and enough
pixels to view both the driver and occupants. Additionally, it is
the first RGB-IR sensor for in-cabin monitoring to feature
integrated cybersecurity.
Based on OMNIVISION’s revolutionary Nyxel® near-infrared
(NIR) technology, the new OX05B brings dramatically
improved resolution as well as overall enhanced efficiency
and design flexibility to automotive OEMs. Nyxel® technology
uses novel silicon semiconductor architectures and
processes to achieve the world’s best quantum efficiency
(QE) at the 940 nm NIR wavelength. The OX05B has the
industry’s highest NIR QE at 36% (a 3x boost from 12% in the
previous generation). This enables the OX05B to detect and
recognize objects that other image sensors would miss
under extremely low lighting conditions, enabling higher-
performance in-cabin camera capabilities for improved
occupant and driver monitoring, security, selfies,
videoconferencing and more.
The sensor comes in an OMNIVISION stacked a-CSP™
package that is 50% smaller than competitive products and
allows for higher-performance image sensors in tighter
camera spaces. It is also available in a reconstructed wafer
option for designers who want the flexibility to customize
their own package.
